In the United States, the stimulus bill, which pours about 2,700 trillion won into our money, passed Congress. It's about half the size of a year's budget in the United States, and it also includes paying unemployed people up to four months.

This was delivered by correspondent Sohn Seok-min from Washington.

The unification unanimously passed the US Senate included a total of 2,200 trillion dollars and 2,700 trillion won.

About half of the U.S. annual budget goes down to individuals, families and businesses.

First, $ 1,200 is paid to individuals whose annual income is less than 100 million won.

A family of four, consisting of a couple and a minor child, earns $ 3,400, or 4.1 million won in cash.

The largest amount ever, 3 trillion won was invested to support unemployed people who have skyrocketed to 3 million per week, allowing them to receive their full monthly salary for up to four months.

Businesses are also loaned to astronomical amounts.

614 trillion won was allocated to large companies such as airlines and 463 trillion won to SMEs.

10 trillion won is also spent on corona vaccine development.

It's a hot support that broke all records in US history, but experts pointed out that it would only compensate for the amount of damage that will occur in the coming weeks, and is insufficient to prevent a recession.

The mayor is paying attention to how quickly the money is being executed, but President Trump says he will sign the support bill as soon as he passes by the House of Representatives tomorrow (27th).
